Cauliflower Paratha (Gobhi ke parathe):-

Cauliflower paratha is a type of paratha that is stuffed with grated cauliflower. It is a North Indian Dish mostly eaten with sweet curd, chutneys or sauces. They are very appetizing and finger licking parathas. These parathas are mostly eaten in winter season and this is the mostly prepared recipe during winters at my home. Oh! I love Gobhi Parathas ❤ and I’m excited to share it with you. Lets start preparing them:-

Important Points

1. You can also use refined oil in place of mustard oil but I prefer mustard oil because it is thick and smells good and provide better taste in recipes but keep in mind that the mustard oil should heat properly before frying veggies in it. Heat it until it leaves it’s smell otherwise it add weird taste to your recipe.
2. Place Parathas on warm tava. Don’t place rotis on hot and cool tava otherwise they stick.
3. Work on medium to high flame.
4. Roll paratha from crimp side.
